Bai Ye entered Screaming Cave, defeated Kane, and claimed Demon Sword Apophis while refusing to use its power. He then rushed to help the Four Sword Saints and Luxy fight Shylock, who was still overwhelming them.

After Shylock drained him for energy and warned him to watch for Hilder, Bai Ye left Linus’s forge to return to Seria and Niu Niu, with Queen Skardi also seeking him.

• Bai Ye received and fused the improved Eye of Darkness and Wave Imprint, then opened two Blazing Star Magic Boxes and obtained Remi’s Aid and the Shadowless Sword.
